Chapter 187: Gifting a Cell Phone, a Warm New Year's Eve
Father Zhang's eyes showed a touch of amazement, and he exclaimed: "People rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. If she puts on these four pieces of clothing and changes into another set of clothes, I would think she is a noble lady from somewhere!"
Mother Zhang rolled her eyes at him. She was so beautiful that she even ran back to her room to change into her new clothes for the New Year. She walked around the living room twice, and only carefully put the four-piece suit away after receiving compliments from everyone.
Zhang Baiyan joked, "My wealthy sister, have you bought me anything for all the hard work I've done for you this year?"
Father Zhang spat at him, "You haven't even bought anything for your sister, and you still have the nerve to ask her for something?"
"Dad! I was just talking!" Zhang Baiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Really?" Zhang Wanwan smiled mischievously, "Brother, wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
This time, not only Zhang Baiyan was curious, but even his father and mother were looking forward to it. After looking at Zhang Baiyan for a while, his father and mother looked at each other and shook their heads, thinking that such expensive things were not suitable for their son.
At this moment, Zhang Wanwan came out with a box and walked past everyone, "Ding ding ding ding. The latest model of mobile phone!"
Zhang Baiyan was overjoyed. He took it and opened it immediately. He found that it was really the latest model and exclaimed, "It costs several thousand yuan!"
Zhang Wanwan nodded, "It's several thousand. You're going to be an intern in your senior year soon. You still need some good equipment to enter the society. Although I don't agree with it, the workplace is like that. There are many snobs. When they see that you are wearing nice clothes, have an expensive phone, and drive a car, they naturally dare not bully you or make plans against you."
Father Zhang nodded in agreement, "Listen to your sister. You bought your previous cell phone when you graduated from junior high school. It was the cheapest one with few functions. I forgot to change it for you even though you didn't tell me when you went to college. Fortunately, your sister is considerate."
Speaking of which, Zhang's father also felt sorry for his son, because Zhang Baiyan was hard-working and independent, and could stand on his own, so he didn't think about some things in detail.
Zhang's mother would think more carefully, but only about the children's food and clothing, and she would hardly notice other things.
The whole family was so happy about the gift Zhang Wanwan gave. Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang's mother hurriedly urged, "Come over quickly and gather around the fire. Tonight we will eat and drink well, watch the Spring Festival Gala together, sleep until you wake up naturally tomorrow, and go to Qingpu the day after tomorrow. Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" everyone responded in unison, just as the TV program cut to the scene of fireworks.
The family sat down quickly, and Zhang's mother took the lead in taking out two red envelopes and gave them to the children. "Although you are grown up, you are still children in my eyes. I wish you a safe, healthy and smooth new year!"
The two men were quick-witted and each of them grabbed a bag and kept it.
Father Zhang then took out the red envelopes he had prepared and gave one to each of them. He patted Zhang Wanwan's head lovingly and said with emotion: "Dad's little girl has grown up! Study hard in school, get along well with your classmates, and graduate and return home smoothly."
After that, Zhang's father looked at Zhang Baiyan and said in a deep voice: "Society is not like school. You should do everything within your ability. If you feel that life is not easy outside and you are not happy, just go home. With your diploma, you can find a good and decent job anywhere. You can even come back to take the civil service exam. It's stable!"
Zhang Baiyan was helpless, "Dad! I haven't even entered society yet, why are you saying such discouraging words!"
As he spoke, Zhang Baiyan poured a glass of wine for Zhang's father, and the father and son started drinking.
Mother Zhang boiled some mutton for everyone and put it in several people's bowls, and reminded them: "Eat something first and then drink!"
Now that the family is well off, Zhang's mother will buy beef and mutton whenever we want to eat them, so we won't be so greedy. But that's how it is during the Chinese New Year, with big fish and meat, symbolizing good omen.
The family of four sat at the dinner table for about an hour, and Zhang Wanwan and her mother could no longer eat.
Since Leng Ziyue was not here this year, Zhang Wanwan had no interest in going out, so she stayed in her pajamas with her mother to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
During this period, she received Spring Festival greetings from many people. What surprised Zhang Wanwan was that Luo Jingyun, Tian Sen, Bao Yaqing and a boy actually went to Jiangbin to watch the lanterns together, and sent her a photo with the caption "Want to join us?"
Zhang Wanwan almost threw her phone in anger and replied, "Why do you want me to come over as a couple? Are you feeding me dog food? Sorry, I ate a lot tonight and I don't plan to eat anything for the time being!"
What she got in return was Luo Jingyun's unbridled laughter. Zhang Wanwan became even more depressed. After a long while, she sent a message asking, "Did Yaqing find a boyfriend? Her family didn't say anything, did they?"
Luo Jingyun: She went to college and met a senior who had been pursuing her for a long time. They have only been dating for a short time. You should have seen that guy before. He is the boy who made fun of us when we met him in the convenience store. Do you think they are destined to be together? As for Yaqing's family, we don't have to worry about it. Her parents are divorced. Yaqing lives with her father. When she gets a job, she just needs to give her mother a few hundred yuan a month for living expenses. Now her mother can't lock her up like before, and she has become much stronger. You can rest assured! By the way, do you want to come over?
Zhang Wanwan: No!
After stopping chatting with Luo Jingyun, Zhang Wanwan felt a warm feeling and hugged her mother's arm and rubbed it hard. The mother and daughter were playing on the sofa, and the father and son were drinking and laughing at the dining table. This was the warmest family.
The second day of the Chinese New Year is the day when the Zhang family mobilizes everyone.
Zhang Wanwan followed her mother's instructions, took out her newly bought high-end cashmere skirt, put on tights and boots, tidied her loose hair, put on some light makeup, and walked out of the room.
The whole family was immediately amazed.
Zhang's mother was full of praise and nodded repeatedly.
Father Zhang frowned slightly and thought: "Girl, I think it's good for you to wear pants. Besides, it's not good for your skin to wear makeup at such a young age."
Zhang's mother glared back, "My daughter is not a child anymore, what's wrong with putting on makeup? Stop giving me orders!"
As she spoke, Zhang's mother tidied up her new clothes and four-piece suit, and carefully led Zhang Wanwan out.
Father Zhang chased after him in confusion, touching his watch, still unable to adapt.
Zhang Baiyan walked at the end, looking at his family with a smile on his face.
This time Zhang Baiyan was driving the car. Zhang Wanwan sat in the passenger seat, while Zhang's father and mother sat in the back. They started a discussion about whether Zhang Wanwan should dress so maturely. At the end, Zhang's mother got so angry that she twisted Zhang's father several times. She only stopped when she heard Zhang's father howling.
Zhang Wanwan smiled and took a selfie with her phone and sent it to Leng Ziyue, "Does this look mature?"
Leng Ziyue replied almost immediately, "You are more suitable to go out with a ponytail and a clean face."
When Zhang Wanwan saw it, she immediately felt depressed.
After a while, her QQ phone rang again. She clicked it and was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
